The best tool for helping you address this step is a module called Upgrade Status (I talk about installing the module in that first Composer gripe article). I had meant to put together a more detailed post on this step and never got to it. There were a few issues with getting Composer to play nice with XAMPP at this stage. I branched out and began getting my hands dirty. I entertained giving DrupalVM a try, but for the sake of time I opted for something more familiar: using VirtualBox I got a quick install of Ubuntu going, installed XAMPP and cloned our repository & files onto the machine. Both Drush and Composer can be installed globally, which means that the potential to screw up root directories on my work machine is real (I once wiped my entire machine clean with an erroneous command at root-live and learn). Lastly, the move to Composer (albeit, overdue) had me concerned as well. Another reason for the VM was not having Drush set up on my work machine I needed to get it set up without disturbing ongoing workflow. I had reasons to do this, though, since my work machine is on a different version of PHP than the one we'll use for D9. Still, having a general outline of the steps to "go live" can help give the project both direction and momentum-things I wanted very much to have after my last big upgrade. It wouldn't really have been possible to put an ETA on project completion without knowing how many modules would need remediation (or how much remediation they would need).
